Criticism
The book has misspellings that do not get corrected when new editions are released. See the article on piedfort for an example that has been misspelled as "piefort" in some places in the book, leading to misattribution of coin types. The influence of the book has caused the incorrect spelling "piefort" to be used by third-party grading services such as NGC and PCGS in labeling coin attributions.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Parents sometimes feel that if they don’t criticize their child, their child will never learn. Criticism doesn’t make people want to change; it makes them defensive.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
